Sandra Bulldog efficiently uses the ancient Chinese technique of acupuncture as a form of weight loss. Acupuncture for weight loss enables management of stress which can result to gaining weight.

OMG…too funny. I came across this pic of an altered Gwen Stefani picture fast forwarded about 50 yrs.  Amazingly, the other members of No Doubt didn’t age. At all. Oh, the perils of being a frontwoman.

I came across this old magazine which states that skinny stars look older than the not-so-skinny stars. They say when you enter middle age looking excessively thin, wrinkles tend to become more prominent. So what would you rather be? Skinny and Wrinkly or Fat and Smooth?

Pink loves cheese so much that she puts it on everything!! Because cheese is high in fat, she says that she grates her own cheese opposed to buying the pre-grated stuff so that she doesn’t use as much. She’ll naturally use less…

UPDATE: Pink no longer eats cheese or any other animal byproduct. Pink has gone vegan and is the newest PETA advocate!

We all know Alicia loves her dogs, but who would have thought she would have this type of relationship with them??? That’s right, Alicia’s nutrition coach seems to be her dog! She claims that she actually taught her dog to train HER not to midnight snack. She trained her dog to bark on command when she opened the fridge after dark and told him to “speak” and then would reward him with a treat. Eventually, he started to run to the fridge and bark when he saw her heading there, which served as a reminder not to snack.

A clever trick to say the least! However, I think if a dog barked at me every time I opened the fridge, my neighbours would start to complain!

P.S. Alicia Silverstone is a vegetarian. Check out other vegetarian celebrities.

Christie Brinkley finds that keeping a food journal helps to to take charge of her eating habits and ultimately her weight.

 There’s no real mystery about this: when you must write down everything that goes in your mouth, it forces you to realize exactly how many calories you consume through out the day. Keeping a journal is also beneficial because you can find patterns in your eating.

For example if you become ravenous at a certain time of the day everyday or if your meals and snacks are spaced too far apart. It can also be helpful to note your frame of mind you are in when you eat or even mention the circumstances. If you begin eating as soon as you get home from work it could indicate a stressful job or it could mean it’s simply just been too long since lunch. A basic food journal will require you to enter the food you ate, number of calories, amount of fat, and how much you consumed.

Throughout the ups and downs of Christie’s relationships in particular, the stress is bound to take toll on her body sometimes. This journal helps her to see her eating patterns, and hopefully her latest divorce doesn’t end her up on the coach eating cookies all night! But with a food journal you’re sure to catch patterns of emotional eating like that, and prevent yourself from eating for the wrong reasons in the future. You’d be suprised at how many of us do it!

To download a free food diary go to Smartcalorie (online diary) or Mealsmatter has a good one too (pdf printout version).
